Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (theatre)/Trivia
- Breakaway Pop Hit: "Not While I'm Around" is written in a more pop-influenced style than the rest of the show, and managed to spin off a couple of pop recordings.
- The Cast Showoff: Beadle Bamford is usually expected to actually play the harmonium. Not to mention the entire cast of the 2005 Broadway revival - they all played various instruments.
- Cut Song: The Judge's "Johanna" was cut from the original production because it held up the plot (and is incredibly creepy), but appears on the original cast album and was eventually reinstated. The tooth pulling part of the Contest is also often cut, and "Parlor Songs" is sometimes heavily abbreviated.
